The next NMFMA workshop/conference is scheduled for next April, 2020, at the Drury Hotel in Santa Fe. Since we have had problems finding volunteers to help set up our Fall conferences around the State, the Board of Directors has decided not to schedule a regular Fall conference. If anyone is interested in organizing a Fall conference anywhere in New Mexico they should contact our Conference Committee Chair, Loretta Hatch, at Loretta.Hatch@state.nm.us .
